It’s not a “Bill Gates project” other than he provides some of the funding. Furthermore, the project is trying to learn what the risks of geoengineering are. It is not trying to “block the sun’s rays.” > **[Fact check: Bill Gates is not trying to 'block the sun's rays' in the name of...](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/23/fact-check-bill-gates-not-trying-block-suns-rays/7310134002/)** > > Social media posts that claim Bill Gates is trying to block the sun's rays misrepresent a Harvard project that Gates' initiatives are helping fund. ---

I realize that. I was hoping for discussion. It’s still promoted by Bill. Hopefully one of the my mods will clean the thread up. I still hope the discussion can go back to geo weather modification, throw in social engineering. I really do hope the world can be better in the future. I hope people will get along. ---

Since FB is so tightly integrated with the chip that the Gates Foundation implanted during the vaccination rollouts, that’s probably for the best. The things that Bill can derive from a simple “It’s complicated” are mind-boggling. AI is scary. ---

Did anyone on this topic watch the YouTube video and listen to Bill Gates? Just curious, the discussion on geo engineering had some ‘different’ proposals. I’m sure if in 2 or 3 years if they are posted for discussion I pity the fool who does. ---

There are two issues here–the existence of the concept of weather modification (real) and the claim that China is doing it to Canada now (rabid barking at the moon batshit insanity.) ---

Ya know? "The following is a description, by project, of rain enhancement operations being conducted during 2018 in Texas. **West Texas Weather Modification Association (WTWMA)** This project, based in San Angelo, is now in its 22nd consecutive year of operation. Its target is the third largest in the state—some 6.4 million acres in west central Texas between Midland and San Angelo. The WTWMA employs a full-time meteorologist and pilots using Doppler weather radar data produced by the National Weather Service. The meteorologist is based at Mathis Field, while aircraft are located at the San Angelo airport as well as several other locations within the target area. The project has a dual purpose: Permits are held by the WTWMA for both rain enhancement and hail suppression operations. The way in which the Association obtained its aircraft and radar, and hired its permanent staff, in 1997-98, to become self-contained as a project served as a prototype for other rain enhancement programs that materialized in Texas in subsequent years. The staff of the WTWMA can provide more information about this project (325-949-1950; [http://wtwma.com](http://wtwma.com/))." ---
